DIY Elf on the Shelf Skirt

Now that the holidays are upon us, it’s time for your Elf on a Shelf to come and visit! And, what’s more fun than some new fashions for your Elf? We’ve decided to make our Elf Olivia a simple circle skirt. It’s very similar to the diy poodle skirt we made for Halloween. On our 7 Best Elf on a Shelf Ideas post we mentioned that Olivia is getting a new friend. Well, she now has one! Any guesses as to what it’s named? Stay tuned for the revealing of her new Elf on the Shelf friend wearing a coordinating fashion with a diy tutorial to follow. It’s going to be double the trouble, but lots of fun!
